Question

Which of the following statements best describes the graph of 4x - y = 1?

Answer 1

It is a straight line joining the points (0, -1), (1, 3), and (-1, -5).

It is a straight line joining the points (4, -3), (-1, 2), and (-4, 5).

It is a curve joining the points (4, -1), (2, 3), and (4, 1).

Answer 4

To see if any point lies on 4x - y = 1, you just plug in the coordinates and see if you get a true equation

Answer 5

for example, let's check (x,y) = (0,-1)

4x - y = 1

4(0) - (-1) = 1 ... plug in x = 0 and y = -1

0 + 1 = 1

1 = 1

so (0,-1) lies on this line

Answer 6

ok thnks

Answer 7

so can you tell me if (1,3) lies on 4x - y = 1 or not?

Answer 8

ya

Answer 9

its 1,1 as well

Answer 10

Answer is A @jim_thompson5910 ?

Answer 11

you are correct

Answer 12

it's a straight line

Answer 13

Can you help me with 1 more?

Answer 14

sure

Answer 15

Sharon wants to make a graph to show the relationship between the number of tickets sold and the price of tickets sold. She plots the following points.

(0, 0), (1, 20), (2, 40), (3, 60), (4, 80)

She uses the following steps to plot the graph:


Label origin as (0, 0)
On x-axis, label Number of tickets sold.
On y-axis, label Price of tickets in dollars.
The scale on x-axis starts from 0 and goes up to 10 at intervals of 2.
The scale on the y-axis starts from 0 and goes up to 200 at intervals of 20.


Which of the following best describes the graph:
It will not be spread out across the entire coordinate plane because in Step 1, Sharon selected an incorrect point as the origin.

It will not be spread out across the entire coordinate plane because in Step 2, Sharon plotted the dependent variable on the x-axis.

It will not be spread out across the entire coordinate plane because in Step 3, Sharon plotted the independent variable on the y-axis.

It will not be spread out across the entire coordinate plane because in Step 4, and Step 5, Sharon selected incorrect scales on the axes.

Answer 16

did you graph this?

Answer 17

no

Answer 18

alright go ahead and do so

Answer 19

ok i got it

Answer 20

so based on what you have, what do you think the answer is and why?
